Metal-Detectable Printer Paper

Print signs, labels, checklists, and packing slips for use around food processing lines without the risk of contaminating the food. A thin layer of aluminum foil is laminated within this paper, so it can be picked up by a metal detector if any piece of it falls into your line. Use this paper to help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs for food safety.

This paper has a coating to resist tears and repel water, grease, and oil. The paper won’t deteriorate over time and can even be used outdoors. No special inks, toners, pens, or markers are required for printing or writing. The coating is FDA compliant for contact with food in packaging, transporting, or storing applications.

Laminated Paper Rolls

Also known as freezer paper, this paper is appropriate for food contact. A polyethylene coating on one side provides resistance to moisture and tearing. Use it to wrap and protect items.

Wax Paper Rolls

Pair these wax paper rolls with a paper roll cutter, so you can cut the paper into any length you need to preserve a variety of products and surfaces. Treated with wax, this paper resists tearing and has a slippery surface that protects products and foods from scratches or sticking together during manufacturing, shipping, and storing. Use it to wrap your items or even as a nonstick work surface. All of this paper is FDA compliant for direct contact with food. It is not, however, meant for use in ovens and microwaves, since it may smoke or catch fire.

Wax-coated paper, also known as wet wax paper, resists moisture. Use it to protect products and foods from grease, water, and oil. It’s also good for safeguarding products with finishes that aren't quite dry. You can even rub this paper on surfaces and tools to add a temporary slippery and moisture-resistant wax layer to them. This paper leaves a wax residue behind, which means it may transfer a wax flavor to foods.

Wax-embedded paper, also known as dry wax paper, won’t leave a wax residue behind on any surface. It’s especially good for foods, since it won’t transfer any residue that could change the flavor of your foods.

Wax Paper Sheets

Treated with wax, these paper sheets resist tearing and have a slippery surface that protects products and foods from scratches or sticking together during manufacturing, shipping, and storing. Use them to wrap your items or even as a nonstick work surface. All of these sheets are FDA compliant for direct contact with food. They are not, however, meant for use in ovens and microwaves, since they may smoke or catch fire.

Wax-coated paper sheets, also known as wet wax paper, resist moisture. Use them to protect products and foods from grease, water, and oil. They’re also good for safeguarding products with finishes that aren't quite dry. You can even rub these sheets on surfaces and tools to add a temporary slippery and moisture-resistant wax layer to them. These sheets leave a wax residue behind, which means they may transfer a wax flavor to foods.

Wax-embedded paper sheets, also known as dry wax paper, won’t leave a wax residue behind on any surface. They’re especially good for foods, since they won’t transfer any residue that could change the flavor of your foods.

Ultra-Thin Filter Fabric

With thickness similar to filter paper, this fabric provides higher flow and is more flexible than felt. It’s often used to filter water, light oil, and water soluble and synthetic coolants in metal polishing, grinding, and finishing applications. This fabric is also good for filtering air and petroleum.

Polyester fabric is 100% polyester for greater strength than rayon/polyester.
